"Pretty Surreal Feeling": Rachin Ravindra On His Name Being Chanted By Indian Fans

New Zealand batsman Rachin Ravindra admitted it felt "surreal" to hear his name being chanted by Indian fans during Thursday's World Cup win over Sri Lanka. However, the 23-year-old shouldn't be too surprised as the southern city was once home to his parents before they moved to New Zealand. Ravindra, one of the breakout stars of the World Cup, gave fans plenty to shout about as he made 42 in his team's five-wicket win which has almost guaranteed New Zealand a place in the semi-finals.

Sri Lanka Coach Blames Inconsistent Batting For Horror Cricket World Cup 2023 Run

Head coach Chris Silverwood on Thursday pinned Sri Lanka's horror run in the World Cup to its inconsistencies, particularly in batting, after the Islanders bowed out of the quadrennial mega event with a five-wicket defeat against New Zealand here. In a lopsided contest, Sri Lanka succumbed to their seventh loss in nine league stage matches and slipped to the ninth spot in the points table. The top eight teams will get direct qualification for the Champions Trophy in 2025. Sri Lanka were shot out for a mere 171 by the Kiwis, who won by five wickets and more than 26 overs to spare.

Sri Lanka Parliament Passes Resolution To Sack Cricket Board After Cricket World Cup 2023 Debacle

In another twist, the Sri Lankan parliament on Thursday unanimously passed a resolution, calling for the sacking of the country's cricket governing body, with both the ruling and opposition parties supporting it. The main opposition party leader Sajith Premadasa moved the resolution titled 'the removal of the corrupt SLC (Sri Lanka Cricket) management' which was seconded by the senior government minister Nimal Siripala de Silva. The parliament's approval came two days after the Court of Appeal restored the SLC management headed by Shammi Silva on Tuesday. On Monday, Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe sacked the SLC management and appointed former World Cup-winning captain Arjuna Ranatunga as head of a seven-member interim committee to govern the cricket board.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka, Cricket World Cup 2023: New Zealand All But Through To Semi-Finals With Big Win

Trent Boult's rediscovery of his magic with new ball fuelled New Zealand's frantic five-wicket victory over a wretched Sri Lanka and kept their World Cup semifinals dreams intact in Bengaluru on Thursday. Daryl Mitchell (43 off 31 balls) milked the sound platform given by openers Devon Conway (45 off 42 balls) and Rachin Ravindra (42 off 34 balls) with their 86-run stand as the Kiwis hunted down the target of 172 in 23.2 overs. The result helped them to snap a four-match losing streak in the event, and it was also the perfect culmination of the demolition job started by Boult with his outstanding three-wicket burst (3/37).

Cricket World Cup 2023 Points Table: How New Zealand's Win Impacts Pakistan And Afghanistan's Top 4 Dreams

Pakistan and Afghanistan were both dealt a massive blow in the race for Cricket World Cup 2023 semi-finals as New Zealand cruised to a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka on Thursday. As a result, New Zealand now have 10 points from 9 matches with a Net Run Rate of +0.743. That means Pakistan, who currently are fifth with 8 points from 8 matches, will have to win their final game against England with a massive margin. According to calculations, Pakistan will have to win by 287 runs if they bat first and in case of chasing, they will have to win with 284 balls remaining. Afghanistan (with a NRR of -0.338) is virtually out of the semi-finals race with their NRR being the worst in comparison to New Zealand and Pakistan.

"Not Your Backyard...": India Pacer Blasts Angelo Mathews Over 'Timed Out' Debate. Then Deletes Post

Indian cricket team fast bowler Jaydev Unadkat was extremely critical of Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Mathews over the 'Timed Out' controversy in Cricket World Cup 2023. Mathews became the first cricketer ever to be dismissed 'Timed Out' and that led to a massive debate involving the 'spirit of cricket'. Mathews took to social media to give proof that he was able to reach the crease in time but a broken helmet strap did not allow him to take strike. According to an ESPNCricinfo report, umpire Richard Illingworth informed Mathews that he had 30 seconds left when the Sri Lankan batter walked in to bat against Bangladesh.
